Descripción de UC drops SAT/ACT; districts connect with homeless students

This week, the regents of the University of California bucked a faculty report and unanimously backed President Janet Napolitano’s recommendation to end the admission requirement that students take the SAT and ACT for admissions. UC plans to develop its own standardized test by 2025.
We discuss that big news as well as the assertion by school groups and State Superintendent Tony Thurmond that schools’ reopening will be delayed without more state or federal funding.
Also, the coronavirus has hit the state’s 200,000-plus homeless students particularly hard and created daunting challenges for school districts to reach out to them. Reporter Carolyn Jones points to districts making extraordinary efforts to serve homeless students, and Susie Terry, coordinator of homeless education services for the San Diego County Office of Education, suggests what else districts could be doing for them.
